Withurst - Originally built as a Headmistress's House in 1938, this substantial house has nods to the Arts & Crafts movement with numerous brick fireplaces and large windows. The house is arranged over three floors with principal rooms having splendid views over the surrounding countryside. Built of engineering bricks, Withurst was known locally as 'Miss Nicholls house' after she took over from her mother who ran the next door school. Light and bright and solid as a rock, Withurst has flexible accommodation with a secondary entrance for an annexe if required.
